We look at the division of 978156 by 2 
Let's see how many times 2 fits into 978156.

Step 1:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 17 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Step 3:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 489.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

On to step 4:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4890.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 15 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48907.0
Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 16 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 489078.0
If we take 16 away from 16, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 489078.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 489078.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 489078.0 with a remaining 0.0.
